Joe Biden has run for president three times, and yet until Saturday, he had failed to ever win a primary or caucus. He has now notched an expected yet much-needed victory in the South Carolina primary.

Biden also receivedfrom the most influential black Democrat in South Carolina politics, U.S. Rep. James Clyburn.

Supporters cheer as the polls close for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden at his primary night event in Columbia, S.C.Supporters cheer as the polls close for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden at his primary night event in Columbia, S.C.Still, Biden's victory does not put to rest some underlying questions about the health of his campaign and his ability to translate this victory to other states.

Biden has tried to draw parallels between his campaign and that of Bill Clinton, who got a key win in the South Carolina Democratic nominating contest in 1992, en route to the presidency.But as this year's primary season quickly turns into a national fight, with 14 states voting on Tuesday, there are questions about whether Biden has the grassroots energy or the money to compete with the likes of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders or former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg.

Minutes after television networks projected Biden as the winner, Terry McAuliffe, the former chair of the Democratic National Committee and former governor of Virginia, endorsed Biden on CNN. McAuliffe said it came down to"an electability issue" for him.

"If the Democrats want a nominee who's a Democrat — a lifelong Democrat, a proud Democrat, an Obama-Biden Democrat — join us," he said to voters in the upcoming primaries.

NPR, I dont understand why you have a pic of Sanders yet the article is about Biden? It makes no sense other than you are inappropriately biased...wow, there's some news!

Well now is his time, nothing wrong with that. Now he is the best candidate from this group to win against Trump.

lincoln lost many times

It’s his time! Congratulations Biden2020

Vice President of the United States of America for 8 years, but sure, try to make it sound like he's failed at politics.

Or as MSNBC would put it if Bernie won, he actually lost because he didn't more delegates than the other candidates combined. Meanwhile, Biden hasn't done much campaigning in the Super Tuesday states. He needs to keep up the momentum or risk getting left behind.

Third time’s a charm

He was literally polling a win the whole time. What are you talking about?

2 times as a Senator. 1 as a former VP.

BIden will lose against trump. Sanders will lose against trump. It looks like we're screwed until ?

come on y'all

Which Bernie supporter wrote that messy tweet.

everybody quit projecting

Alternative title: Mein Kampf inspired fear mongering about Socialism, Communism, and science denial are working and that should scare us.

JoeBiden

At the end of the day it won't make a dime's worth of difference......

No. Bernie all the way

Instead of choosing THE best man or woman to be the next president of the United States, it is always the same every four years, getting a government from a outcome of bullshit!Where are the personal interviews and views? This should be standard then slandering each other!!
